Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), in that the action is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed project would have a significant effect on the environment. CEQA Guidelines§ 15061(b)(3). In addition. this project qualifies for a Class 3 and Class 5 Categorical Exemption. pursuant to Sections 15303 and 15305 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Section 15303 allows new construction or conversion of small structures as the site is in an urbanized area where all necessary public services and facilities are available and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. Section 15305 allows minor alterations in land use limitations, such as lot line adjustments and lot consolidations, because they do not result in the creation of a new parcel which could increase density.
